I don’t know. Take YouTube. For all its faults, it has enabled countless people to make a living, or helped artists get noticed. I personally feel having the option for everyone to publish content without prohibitive cost or other barriers is a massive achievement. Sure you could go back to selfhosting. But monetization and, more importantly, discovery will not work that way. Or we go back to the days of yesteryear with vetted and sanitized gatekeepers (also beholden to advertisers) in place. So yeah. Until there is a empathetic, nuanced AGI/ASI in charge of policing content there’s not gonna be a good solution. That might take longer than a while.
